When I was a kid my father took me to see the movie diner at the movie theater and when I saw Mickey work walk on the screen I fell in love with him and I have been following him ever since. I have just about every movie he ever made on DVD except for maybe six or seven that I'm hunting down now. And he made a hell of a lot of movies and I never saw one bad performance even when he was going over to Europe and making the bee movies at low budget he never turned in a bee performance. To me he is James Dean and Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift all rolled into one. 🙏
@Chris Kroll wow. That's quite a compliment. The first time I saw him was in the movie 9 and a half weeks, with Kim Bassanger, back in the 80's. That was the first time I saw her as well. Have you seen that movie?
@@chriskroll4166I saw Angel Heart first and I was like this guy is the best and coolest actor I’ve seen. Went and watched all his best movies on VHS. Been a big fan ever since
very and i think exactly of that fact, he was so disappointed by hollyweird that he got back to boxing, drugs etc. it's incredibly sad because he's freaking talented..but i get it - he didnt wanna give Bas for roles.
he's always been my favourite and when people turn up their noses when I say this, I feel all the more justified. His unorthodoxy and his oddness, his vulnerability, even his boorishness, all adds to his mystique. He's fully human, made every conceivable mistake and keeps dusting himself off and going forward. He looks good here...best he's looked in years.
Wow you summed it up why he’s my favourite actor too. There’s a mystique and aura about the guy. But it’s frustrating as a fan how he constantly wrecks his own career despite being self aware about his actions
I think because he was SA as a child, once he got into hollywood he was extremely disappointed that it took men to give s. favors in order to get jobs & his old demons came back & he went nuts. Like mel gibson, him mickey is just too fucken honest for hollyweird.
Amazing, I never seen my father , Mickey Rourke was the man role model I had as a child , I always looked up to him as the man I wanted to be like ! Bless you Mickey
Bar Fly is a movie I make every person in my life see. It’s a good lesson in self sabotage, which is unfortunately a pattern for Mickey but if you watch his interview with Piers Morgan about his upbringing, it all comes together.
Yeah as a big fan of his it’s so frustrating. He hasn’t been in any good movies in 10 years. His talent is worth way more than these trash movies he appears in
Mickey has eras. This is the transitional Mickey post heart throb and pre bulked up tough guy. Has there ever been an actor, or anyone for that matter, who has transformed himself in such a way that he's essentially been different people.
An American Classic. You hear people say this and that about Mickey and its sometimes not positive. I've followed his career as long as I've been able to and he dwarfs the majority of actors plus he's an original.
Asking if he knows anyone in the acting business that got through it unscathed would be like asking to know all those actor’s minds. No one knows all of what other people have been through.
It was when he starred in Get Carter with Stallone - Great movie , Mickey nailed it and Stallone paid him from his own cut just to have him in the movie 💯 Facts Gucci shades 🔥
He’s so young here lol. He acts like he’s old already. I’d say NOW in 2022 he’s kind of old but still relatively young. I think he’s just a bit victimy
cool as boiled egg. what a ncie guy and what a waste of talent... Without mental stability even most talanted people get screwed mostly by their own stupid acting when making wrong choices during life journey.
I suspect that it is a way of hiding from copyright infringement removal, as I often see or hear things that are mistaken in titles of videos such as this.
Mickey is a guy you could talk to forever. Experienced, intelligent, well spoken. His grin says it all. A survivor in life!
I think what I like most about Micky Rourke is his humanity he's a very authentic character and I think that's probably rare in Hollywood
such disarming vulnerability... misunderstood and underappreciated, and so talented
Well he had trauma he has ptsd now probably seems pretty obvious with his defense mechanisms etc..
I truly love Mickey’s tone whenever he speaks and I love his honesty and he’s got a great laugh❤beautiful eyes and gentle heart ♥️
i really feel for him, he has a sensitivity to him that he's been trying to figure out since he was younger. i hope he's found his place
Two words describe mickey rourke passion and charisma pasión and charisma in very high levels, there is no more guys like him
if you don't warm to Mickey you ain't human .....

Mickey Rourke actor legendary 🎬

U know this is in late 90s right
@@Intothewildernesstosee right.. the teen years from 80s to 90s.. he aged 30 years.. probably from so many punches to the face
Wow you summed it up why he’s my favourite actor too. There’s a mystique and aura about the guy. But it’s frustrating as a fan how he constantly wrecks his own career despite being self aware about his actions
This was actually a good interview and not a bad interviewer. Not bad at all, some decent questions and got a little deep with Mickey. NICE!!!

Your statement is false. He was not S A . I know Mick.
Amazing, I never seen my father , Mickey Rourke was the man role model I had as a child , I always looked up to him as the man I wanted to be like ! Bless you Mickey
Mickey Rourke is a Legendary Actor, Hollywood Rebel. Great in White Sands as well as all the more the obvious films he starred in.
⚓🇺🇸
Those were his Get Carter sunglasses
Bar Fly is a movie I make every person in my life see. It’s a good lesson in self sabotage, which is unfortunately a pattern for Mickey but if you watch his interview with Piers Morgan about his upbringing, it all comes together.
Sounds like me
super !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mickey the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His eyes are one of his best features. Why hide them behind glasses? 💙
because his face is already botched. You can see it all too clearly, unfortunately.
happy real MAN. He must continue .....
Its so frstrating with Mickey. He would get his chance with The Wrestler and doors did open and he fucked it up all over again.
I feel in love with he and Roberts 'Pope'; he commands the stage,
How did he fuck up again?
Yeah as a big fan of his it’s so frustrating. He hasn’t been in any good movies in 10 years. His talent is worth way more than these trash movies he appears in
@@AW-kr9fl agreed.
So honest,love this human being,what a life journey!
great interview!!
Hes a genuine guy
God bless mickey
Mickey has eras. This is the transitional Mickey post heart throb and pre bulked up tough guy. Has there ever been an actor, or anyone for that matter, who has transformed himself in such a way that he's essentially been different people.
a nice"human being" good interview
An American Classic. You hear people say this and that about Mickey and its sometimes not positive. I've followed his career as long as I've been able to and he dwarfs the majority of actors plus he's an original.
1998 Nice interview when Mickey was quite normal guy.
Some of my favourite movies from the 80's are with Mickey.
Wow 20 years ago

Does anyone know what brand these sunglasses are?
Gucci - lime green
I was thinking the same...Slick A.F!
What about that jacket?
@@jmsmith6 his swag is turned up to historic levels in this video. the hat as well.
Love him! ! ❤
I think he was about 47 when this was done.
It was when he starred in Get Carter with Stallone - Great movie , Mickey nailed it and Stallone paid him from his own cut just to have him in the movie 💯 Facts
Gucci shades 🔥
He’s so young here lol. He acts like he’s old already. I’d say NOW in 2022 he’s kind of old but still relatively young. I think he’s just a bit victimy
I agree. He def has rode the victim card a little too heavy at times. h

👍🏻
It’s suffering and disease there are no cure for Except to self medicate. Be grateful your healthy.
I feel for him but he got a second chance and he ruined that too
You need to fix your title. The video clearly states the interview took place in *1998*
I suspect that it is a way of hiding from copyright infringement removal, as I often see or hear things that are mistaken in titles of videos such as this.
What did he say after "If a little wrench got thrown at my...."?
What's the tune at the beginning?
Anyone know what the movie was he talked about at 13:25?
I’m assuming it never got made, becuase the way he described it, it’s sounds like no production company wanted to make a film with him
When it’s honest!
